Day 51 Powder day at Alta

I just can’t believe it myself. Another great powder day.

It was sweet, deep, light, steep and awesome.

Alta reported the most snow over night and I knew that the lines are going to be long but with 10min + till lunch time and 5min+ till about 1:30 it wasn’t too bad. After this right to the chair.

It was my second day at Alta (one last year) but with the powder I have to say that it was much better then last year. There are many steep runs with some serious cliffs. I spend the morning skier’s right of Collins and after this numerous runs again skier’s right of Supreme. Later on East Greeley and some other runs.

Pics should tell the story

If no one has it figured out yet.....all you gotta do for a lifetime supply of powder is follow this dude around on one of his vacations.

See ya tomorrow, Paedde!

Endless, is that you with the Alta sticker on your giant head? Have you changed teams??

Pat, great story about the cop... Mine didn't let me go, but it was still a great deal at 75$ for 87 in a 60 zone

Enjoy your last couple of days...

BWAAHAHHAAHAHAHAAAHAHAHAHAAA!!!

No. That's not me. I wear a Colorado sticker on my enormous helmet. Colorado's where it's at.

**meatdrink9** · 03-19-2006, 09:27 PM

Please send this into a magazine at the end of the season. So awesome.

**paedde** · 03-19-2006, 09:52 PM

Addendum:

By coincidence I had my personal photographer today. Thanks Astro

**AfroMullet** · 03-19-2006, 09:55 PM

i seriously need to travel with you. hall of fame material, paedde...

**Cirquerider** · 03-19-2006, 10:56 PM

Just unbelievable. Scored in Tahoe, stagnated for 2 days, then back to Utah. You are Warren Miller reincarnated.

(Oh crap he hasn't died yet) Well you get the point. Endless powder.

**MTT** · 03-20-2006, 12:43 AM

Well Done!~

Day 52 Powder day at Snowbird

Only an inch of new snow over night but with some “earn your turns” some traversing and hunting every powder stash it was good enough to call it a powder day.

I spend the first two hours in the area of “Last choice” which was not open yesterday. Not a lot of vertical but deep untracked powder. At 11am I met “Endless” and he showed me some almost untracked great stuff.

We had a lot of fun, great skiing, boot to knee deep powder turns and almost no lines.

Thanks Endless for another great day at the Bird. Oh and Scott how can you possibly stay at home on a day like this? The pics are going to show you what you missed.

**paedde** · 03-20-2006, 10:35 PM

And a few more thanks to Endless:

CAW!!!!!!!!!! CAW!!!!!!!!!! CAW!!!!!!!!!! CAW!!!!!!!!!!

Day 53 Epic Powder day at Alta

Hard to believe but yes it was another epic powder day. Official report 11” but as always it was much more then that.

Ron and I had a day full of face shots, knee deep (or more) awesome skiing.

Powder competition was higher then expected and by the end of the day it was almost tracked everywhere. Some stuff remained closed all day and this could be a reason to ski there tomorrow. No lines at the chairs all day.

After some additional snow in the morning we even got sunshine in the afternoon.

Thanks Ron for another unforgettable day! Scott you missed it again!

**LeeLau** · 03-21-2006, 07:36 PM

paedde - many swiss women are going to want to bear your children if you keep this up

**uglymoney** · 03-21-2006, 07:50 PM

This pic is just sweet. Wow!

**MTT** · 03-21-2006, 07:58 PM

So now you ski Blower Utah pow with Pro Photogarpher.

Livin the Life

**RootSkier** · 03-21-2006, 09:50 PM

More pow in one trip than I have skied in my whole life.

Fucking rockstar.

**Endlessseason** · 03-22-2006, 09:23 AM

BWAHHHAHAAHAAHAHAHAAAA!

Guess who just called me and will be skiing today the only ski area within 500 miles to get more than a foot overnight?

Paedde will get 16" of pow even on the last day of his ski safari!! (At Brianhead, Utah's highest ski area)

This trip is truly beyond unbelievable.

{Edit: I just checked and it looks like he'll once again be skiing the most new snow in the entire country!)
